Chapter 990: War of Atrition

"Oh, stupid beast, do you think this will work?"

Seeing such a behemoth smash to the ground, the caster of the [Dawn Spell Society] smiled disdainfully.

For this powerhouse who has mastered extremely strong spell-casting abilities.

The Sea Beast's actions were nothing more than extreme actions made in the face of the strength of the magic circle, and the impact on the actual battle situation was minimal.

"Neither the currents nor the entities can break through my defenses!"

Things are just as the casters of the Dawn Spell Society said.

Although the huge sea beast jumped on land, even if its huge body collided with the personnel guarding the harbor, it still could not play a lethal role in the slightest.

"Hmm-"

Then, the sea beast that actively jumped out of the water, and then lay on the harbor made a distinctive, low sound.

Before the casters could understand the emotions it wanted to express, strong magical fluctuations began to appear on this sea beast's body, and its performance was extremely unstable!

The next second.

The surface of the sea beast's body began to show irregular bulges and fluidity, and the flesh and fat were completely unstable. A feeling that the body was about to explode immediately appeared on this giant beast!

"When the pressure difference is large, the significant change in density or volume occurs mainly in the air and vapor streams......

There is no room for hesitation.

So the Great Witch, who was in the middle of the defenses, spoke.

The elderly holder of the original text chanted the incantation, and an invisible force immediately enveloped the sea beast's massive body.

Boom –

Then there was a roar and explosion.

This is the sea beast that jumped to the ground, its body exploded into powder directly in an invisible cage, and the air was suddenly filled with a bloody and unpleasant smell.

But other than that, it doesn't have much other effect.

The Great Witch Teresa's extremely fast reaction method firmly limited the power of the sea beast's self-explosion to the control of the spell, so it did not cause any damage.

That is, to watch this scene.

The expression on Kostadt's face in the rear was even more puzzled:

"Sir, this is so strange!"

"These sea creatures gain wisdom through magical properties, shouldn't they behave in such a rash manner?"

The maid's understanding of the scene in front of her can be said to be to the point.

Although the sea beast was quickly imprisoned by the Great Witch Teresa with a spell after jumping onto land, this did not prevent people from seeing that this guy's original purpose was to threaten the spellcasters in the harbor by self-detonation.

This is absolutely incomprehensible behavior for an animal that has a living being.

And for the maid's incomprehension.

Ronald's expression did not change at all, but he stretched out his hand and pointed to the sea water in front of him:

"Kostadt, this is just the beginning."

"You keep lookingβ€”"

Thump!

As soon as Ronald finished speaking, there was another sound in the water.

Another guy who was similar in size to the sea beast just now also jumped out of the water. Then he almost completely repeated the action of his companion when he blew himself up just now, and there was also an extremely obvious magic fluctuation on this guy's body, and it immediately exploded!

Boom –

Fortunately, at this moment, the personnel in charge of defending are fully focused.

Therefore, at the same time as this sea beast exploded, the great witch who had already made a move just now followed closely, and immediately limited the scope of this explosion to a very small extent, and did not affect the surrounding area.

In this way, the scene was indeed perfectly controlled for a while.

But this result made the few people present who had the clearest understanding of the battle situation even more nervous.

Plop Plop Plop –

Soon, this sense of foreboding was confirmed.

The sea beasts hiding beneath the surface of the water are really not afraid of life and death!

After the first two had already taken the lead in paying for their lives, the next successive sea beasts jumped out of the water, and then continued to carry out suicide attacks on land.

Even Teresa, the Great Witch, was able to control the effects of the explosion perfectly at first, and took the time to send the shattered corpse back into the water.

But as time passed, the effects of aging the body and the need to concentrate all the time followed.

Several defenses against sea beast attacks have also begun to make some mistakes.

It was in these gaps that the true nature of the sea beasts' suicide attacks was revealed.

Run through a special magic way.

The splattered flesh and blood of these behemoths as they blew themselves up had an effect that could ignore the defensive circle and then interfere with the caster's magic.

Although it cannot immediately inflict a lethal attack.

But you must know that most of the spellcasters who are on the side of the port at the moment are trying to maintain the operation of the entire defensive spell.

If the number of people affected by this is sufficient.

Then the collapse of the entire defensive circle is probably inevitable!

Time.

The defense on the dock side is at an impasse.

Because the attack of Ronald's first wave of thunder was so terrifying, these behemoths hidden deep beneath the surface of the water also knew how powerful these human spellcasters were.

So they didn't dare to show all their power at the same time, but chose to attack one after another.

In this way, the way of fighting has changed from a competition of strength to a pure war of attrition.

On the caster's side, even if there is a strong person like the Great Witch Teresa, or the [Dawn Spell Society] who is extremely proficient in the magic circle, participates in the battle. But compared to the seemingly endless number of sea beasts, the strength of these dozens of spellcasters was still a little weak.

Such a war of attrition continues.

It is already an obvious fact which side will win in the end.

……

Look at the scene happening in front of you.

Ronald, who was in the rear safety zone, was also secretly estimating in his heart.

- Two hours.

This should be the limit of what the caster on this side of the dock can support.

Even if there are many people who alternate Teresa's work in the middle, as long as this time is exceeded, the collective mental and physical pressure of the people on this side of the dock may come to the limit.

When the time comes, the collapse of the entire line of defense will be only in an instant.

I'm afraid that's when Ronald needs to help immediately.

Bang Bang Bang –

At this moment, Ronald was keenly aware of the sound of leather shoes on wet ground behind him amid the continuous explosions.

He turned his head to look.

A somewhat startled figure appeared there.

Ronald's friend in Bronwich, Detective Swift, braves the rain and appears in the harbor at night in reverse direction from the city.

After witnessing the confrontation between the spellcaster and the sea beast in front of him.

Without hesitation, the detective turned to Ronald and waved his hand to say hello:

"Ronald, I knew you were on shore too."

"I have some special news about Capone's attack by sea beasts, do you want to hear about it?"
